Out hunting at 4AM in January in Missouri. Got up in my tree stand before the sun rose and I keep hearing this rustling in the leaves beneath the stand and I got my ear plugs in even.

It's squirrels, IDGAF. Shit keeps going on and just stays around my tree and I keep feeling a thug against the tree as I'm sitting in it and I realize it's bigger than a squirrel.

At this point I'm pissed off enough to grab my light and I shine it down the tree and don't see anything at first but I can tell all the leaves and shit were disturbed.

I got a little uneasy and decided to fire my gun to scare off any coyotes or raccoons that might be fucking around and so I fired a shot off. Right after the shot I took out my earplugs to hear whatever it was run away and I immediately heard the direction it was in and shone my light on it and it was a fucking guy running off towards the trail I came in on.
